00:00Savatamali,
00:02he lived only 30 kilometers to Pandarpur.
00:08But not a single time he went to Pandarpur.
00:12Easy he could go.
00:14Every week, if you want, he could go.
00:17But no, he never went to Pandarpur.
00:23What Bhagavan did?
00:27Every moment of his life, whatever he was doing was vittal.
00:35Each plant he would say, ah, vittal that is for you.
00:40In his garden he would call it the vittal garden.
00:43Each vegetable he would take, it was vittal.
00:49And there is this beautiful painting, when he would take his vegetables to the market to sell,
00:53vittal was lying down in his basket.
00:57So, every moment was vittal.
01:01This was a big discussion between Sant Dhyanishvara and Namdev.
01:07So, Namdev said, I am best devotee,
01:10because Bhagavan comes and eats with me every day.
01:16And Sant Dhyanishvara said, no, I am.
01:21Because we discuss and I write whatever we discuss, you know.
01:26So, he sit and discusses with me.
01:30So, Bhagavan was listening to them, discussing, and he said, forget it.
01:35You both are not.
01:37There is one which is even superior than both of you.
01:42So, then they become very curious.
01:45Who is that one which is even more superior than us,
01:48we who live continuously with you?
01:54He said, there is one.
01:56Then they would start pestering, they would tell us,
01:59please tell us, who is that one?
02:02Bhagavan said, okay, catch me.
02:04If you can catch me, then I will tell you.
02:09So, then Bhagavan started running.
02:12So, he ran from Pandarpur
02:15to what is the name of the Savatamali place?
02:20To where Savatamali was.
02:24So, behind Bhagavan, he ran very fast, you know,
02:30and behind is Namdev and Sant Dhyanishvara running.
02:36So, arriving at Savatamali,
02:42Bhagavan Krishna said to him,
02:45he sees Vita in front of him,
02:49and Vita said, listen, I don't have much time to explain things to you,
02:54there are two thieves running behind me.
02:58They want to
03:02steal everything from me.
03:03I need to hide.
03:05So, Bhagavan Krishna looked at him and started smiling,
03:08he said, Bhagavan, you are the Lord of the Universe,
03:12where will I hide you?
03:14Where is the place where you are not?
03:18You know, how can I hide you? I don't have anything, you know.
03:22He said, no, no, no, you have to hide me somewhere.
03:27So, that moment Savatamali thought,
03:30where will I hide the Lord of the Universe?
03:32Eh?
03:35So, Savatamali said, took the sickle
03:39who was lying down there,
03:41plucked it into his chest and opened the chest.
03:45and he opened it, just like Hanuman, you know,
03:48opened his chest to show Sita, Ram inside of his heart.
03:53Like that, Savatamali also opened and said,
03:56Lord, hide yourself inside of me.
03:59So, Bhagavan went inside,
04:02he closed up,
04:03but he let his dhoti a little bit hanging outside.
04:10So, meanwhile, Sandhya Nishra and Namdev arrived.
04:18So, when Bhagavan was running,
04:20each of his footprints
04:24left a mark of chandan,
04:29and also the smell of tulsi.
04:34So, this is how they could find him.
04:35So, he arrived there, the footprint is in front of Savatamali.
04:39They saw Savatamali in front of them,
04:41a gardener, you know, dirty.
04:46He said, have you seen Vittal?
04:52I said, but, yes, Vittal is everywhere.
04:56Where Lord Krishna is not?
04:58He said, present in everywhere.
05:02He said, yes, we know he is present everywhere,
05:05but did you see him personally coming, running to you?
05:12I said, well, he could not say anything.
05:16He kept quiet.
05:18So, as they were looking around,
05:21they noticed his dhoti,
05:24a little piece of his dhoti was hanging out,
05:29and they said,
05:30because the dhoti is hanging out from his chest.
05:35He said, ah, he is hiding inside.
05:39So, Savatamali said, yes, he is hiding in my heart.
05:47And then, he said, please let him out.
05:50He said, well, how can I tell him to come out from my heart?
05:55Then he said,
05:57Namdev and Sandhya Nishwara,
06:00they understood that the ego,
06:03in spite of being saint,
06:05in spite of being Anshavatar of Shihari,
06:08Shihari,
06:12there was still that human side still present inside it.
06:19So, then they asked Bhagavan,
06:22they said, please come out, we understand our lesson.
06:26So, then they realized how great is Savatamali,
06:31how great is among the devotees also, you see,
06:35this great –
06:37among pearls you have one which is even more wonderful than anything else, you know.
06:45So, they realized that it's not them,
06:47they were still looking at Vithala, but their little pride was still there in them.
06:55They have to be completely
07:00humble, you know,
07:02at each moment, you see, it is only Vithala,
07:07you know, only Lord Krishna which is doing everything.
07:10of the Lord Krishna which is living.
07:11The Lord Krishna who is living is truly
07:13and is truly living in the evening
07:19I am ready to be remembered to the Lord Krishna.
07:22And as a stage of me,
07:22the Lord Krishna will be given to thee,
07:28I am ready to be reminded,
